Best front wheel size in RE-01R "Help Jim"
I am about to place an order for Bridgestone RE-01R for my '04 S2000.
I am currently running RE050A Pole Position
225/45/17
255/40/17.
I want to use the RE-01R but have 2 question:
1.) The new S2000 CR comes with 215/45/17 in the front. Would this size be better? The 225 look a lot taller than stock
2.) I notice that in these sizes the treadwear is 180 instead of 140. Can I expect to have better performance and also longer life over the Pole Positions?

im running 225/255 in re-01's and noticed the same thing on the CR. I know iv heard oversteer is almost completely gone in 08 models, so maybe that is just one part of the reason?
